Using Acupressure for Future Hope and Happiness in 2022

Each new year we look forward to a new beginning. To a brighter future. Many of us will make New Year’s resolutions to start the new year in the right direction. Our intentions are to make up for any mistakes we made during the previous year in hopes not to repeat them. We also aim to put into action those things we have put on the back burner by procrastinating. By learning from our mistakes, setting goals, organizing, planning, and putting those steps into action we will experience personal growth. This may be on an emotional-mental level, physical level, or more spiritual.

  • Many of us would like to see ourselves improve our relationships
  • Feel good, and be healthier
  • Become more physically fit, and lose weight
  • Be a better person by being more thoughtful, conscientious, generous, patient, and understanding.
  • Maybe we would like to excel in school, or to succeed in our career.
  • We would like to enjoy financial abundance and freedom
  • Perhaps there are hobbies to try, or places we want to see.

In a nutshell, let us give thanks for what we have had this past year while looking forward to the future.

 

There are ways you can help yourself do just that.  Acupressure is one of the ways to help yourself on an emotional-spiritual level.

There are two acupuncture points that I would like to share with you.

                       acupuncture meridian of the liver
  1. Liver #13 called Chapter Gate (Zhang Men). This is located below the tip of the 11th rib.  Think of it like a gate opening up, or the turning of a page in a book to a new chapter. It helps recycle the old stuff enabling a new transition in life. It allows you to breath as it benefits the diaphragm, and ribcage. If your mind feels stuck, this is a great point to activate.
  2. Liver #14 called Gate of Hope (Qi Men). It is located on the inferior ridge of intercostal angle about 4″ lateral from center, and 3.5″ below the tip of zyphoid process. *This is an alternative location used in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture. Use this point when you feel resigned, like you want to give up. When you are feeling like there is no growth, no fulfillment use this point. It brings hope for the future. It opens up the consent to healing, and to getting well. It empowers the quality of aspiration.

Together these acupuncture points will help change your perspective when needed, and will bring the feeling of hope, and growth needed for a new beginning and for a bright future.

 

Rub each point in a clockwise direction for up to a minute each. Then gently tap 5 times up and down.

Rub each point twice daily in the morning, and before bed.

Happy New Year 2022!
